The Hilti TE 3000-22 Heavy-duty Cordless Jackhammer is designed to replace corded or pneumatic breaking tools, offering tremendous power and durability. With a brushless motor delivering up to 840 BPM and 62.7 ft-lbs of impact energy, this jackhammer’s performance is comparable to Hilti’s corded TE 3000.
Hilti claims the TE 3000-22 can chisel up to 9 tons of material per hour, but this would likely require multiple spare batteries. A pair of B 22-290 batteries can demo up to 1.8 tons of concrete per charge, making it suitable for structural demolition, road repairs, and other demanding applications.
It has a high impact energy.
The TE 3000-22’s impact energy and blow rate are notable, especially when compared to similar tools from DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Makita. Hilti’s tool delivers 62.7 ft-lbs of impact energy, outperforming its competitors.

The TE 3000-22 features Hilti’s Active Vibration Reduction (AVR) system and fully isolated handles to reduce fatigue during extended use. A soft-start function helps tame the initial jolt when the tool engages, improving control as the breaker ramps up to full power.
The jackhammer is also compatible with Hilti’s Dust Removal System (TE DRS-H), which attaches directly to the chisel’s shaft and directs dust and debris to a dust extractor. A quick-change chuck is compatible with Hilti’s TE-H chisels, minimizing downtime when swapping out accessories.
In practice, the TE 3000-22’s cordless design and high-performance capabilities will be particularly beneficial for professionals working in areas where cords and compressors are impractical. However, the tool’s runtime and high bare tool price may be concerns for those tackling larger demo jobs.
The Hilti TE 3000-22 retails for $2,769 as a bare tool and comes with a 20-year limited warranty. It’s also available on Hilti’s Fleet program, which includes no-cost repairs, maintenance, and theft protection for $91.25 per month.

For professionals already invested in Hilti’s Nuron platform or frequently working in areas where cords are impractical, the TE 3000-22 is a compelling high-performance cordless alternative. However, for those tackling larger demo jobs near a reliable power source, the corded TE 3000 remains a viable option.
Manufacturers like Hilti are pushing the boundaries of cordless technology. As the demand for more efficient and powerful tools grows, the TE 3000-22 will likely perform well in real-world applications.
The Hilti TE 3000-22’s specifications include a 22V Nuron battery power source, TE-H chuck type, and high chiseling performance.
